Helen Joyce is an Irish journalist and gender critical activist.

She studied as a mathematician and worked in academia before becoming a journalist.

1968

She was born in 1968 in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to Bray, County Wicklow at age 8.

She's the oldest of nine children of James "Jimmy" and Maureen Joyce, five boys and four girls.

Five of her younger siblings — Gus, Ed, Dominick, Isobel, and Cecelia Joyce — have played international cricket for Ireland, while Ed has also played for the England test side.

Brothers Johnny and Damian played club cricket.

Johnny is an international chess player.

Joyce moved to England at age 16 to attend musical theatre college, but dropped out after two years.

1987

In 1987, she enrolled at Trinity College, Dublin, where she was elected a Scholar in 1989, and received a BA in mathematics in 1991.

She next completed Part III of the Mathematical Tripos for a Master of Advanced Studies with distinction at the University of Cambridge, earning a scholarship from the British Council and a PhD place at University College London.

1995

She got a PhD in geometric measure theory at University College London (1995) with the dissertation "Packing measures, packing dimensions, and the existence of sets of positive finite measure" under David Preiss.

She then took a postdoctoral position in Cardiff, and spent two years at Finland's University of Jyväskylä on a Marie Curie research fellowship funded by the European Union.

2000

In 2000 she joined the Millennium Mathematics Project (MMP) at the University of Cambridge an organisation set up to advocate for mathematics education in schools and other venues.

Primarily working on telecommunication and video education projects with schools.

2002

In 2002 she was named editor of the project's online Plus Magazine, a position she held for three years.

2004

In 2004 she also became founding editor for the Royal Statistical Society's quarterly magazine Significance.

2005

Joyce began working for The Economist as education correspondent for its Britain section in 2005 and has since held several senior positions, including finance editor and international editor.

She published her book Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality in 2021.

In 2005 Joyce became an education correspondent for The Economist.

Four years later she transferred to the newspaper's project exploring how to best present statistics to readers.

2010

In August 2010 she moved to São Paulo to become The Economist′s Brazil bureau chief, a position she held through 2013.

2018

In July 2018, Joyce curated a series of articles on transgender identity in The Economist.

GLAAD described Joyce's December 2018 article "The New Patriarchy: How Trans Radicalism Hurts Women, Children—and Trans People Themselves" for Quillette as 'alarming' stating that Joyce had "no place in a newsroom".

Joyce responded that the organization had been "co-opted by [GLAAD board member] Anthony Watson to continue his unprovoked attacks against me".

2019

In March 2019 The Daily Dot reported that Joyce "claimed, among other things, that the trans rights movement is enabling sexual predators... referred to puberty blockers or other treatments that affirm a trans child’s sense of self as 'sickening'... [and] also called these procedures 'child abuse,' 'unethical medicine,' 'mass experimentation,' and a 'global scandal'".

In June 2022 PinkNews reported that Joyce had spoken in favour of "reducing or keeping down the number of people who transition" and that "every one of those people is a person who's been damaged" and "every one of those people is basically, you know, a huge problem to a sane world".

In July 2021, Joyce's book Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, was published by Oneworld Publications.

The book sold well, debuting within a week of its publication at number 7 on The Sunday Times list of bestselling general hardbacks and remaining in the top 10 for a second week.

It was named as one of the year's best books by The Times. The book received other positive reviews in the Evening Standard, New Statesman, and The Scotsman.

The Times regular columnist David Aaronovitch wrote that "Joyce [examines] a new ideology about gender. This holds that biological sex is as much a 'social construct' as the idea of gender is. One benefit of Joyce's book is its intellectual clarity and its refusal to compromise. So she takes apart this ideology of gender with a cold rigour."

Kathleen Stock, then a professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex and author of Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism (2021), gave Trans a 5-star review at The Telegraph, calling it a "superlative critical analysis of trans activism" and that "Joyce shows an impressive capacity to handle complex statistics, legal statutes, and other bits of evidence without losing clarity or narrative drive."

The Guardian gave it a mixed review.

A review at Publishers Weekly criticized the book as "alarmist" and a "one-sided takedown" that "comes up short."

Aaron Rabinowitz, writing for The Skeptic, criticised Joyce for her repeating activist Jennifer Bilek's claims that a cabal of Jewish billionaires fund the transgender rights movement through contributions to organisations such as Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union.

Joyce published a rebuttal to these allegations, writing that she had been "subjected to a smear campaign... because that’s what happens to anyone who publicly dissents from gender-identity ideology—the notion that what makes you a man or woman isn’t your immutable biology, but what you declare yourself to be."

She rejected accusations of antisemitism, saying "I didn't deliberately select three Jewish donors; it never occurred to me to think about their religions. Two of the three, it turns out, are indeed Jewish, though that is not something I mention in my book because it is utterly irrelevant."

Joyce denied plagiarism, denounced Bilek for antisemitism and reiterated the thesis of her book.

She also corrected a claim about a donation made by Open Society Foundation; the donation was to a similarly named group which also advocated for gender self-identification.

2020

Returning to London she served as The Economist′s finance editor and international editor and in March 2020 became its executive editor for events business.

In 2022, Joyce took a one-year unpaid sabbatical from The Economist to join the gender-critical campaign group Sex Matters as a director, which she made permanent at the end of the sabbatical year.
